Domestic Abuse / Mental Health
This I understand is occurring because couples are with each other 24/7 and are unable to be apart for any length of time. This and a possible increased use of alchohol/drugs will I assume acasserbate problems. To relieve stress and stop misuse we need to separate couples for a period which would not include drinking or drugs. Golf, fishing, hill walking, cycling to name but a few are great mental stimulants as well as relaxants and providing the necessary outdoor exercise . Social distancing would definitely not be a problem in most sports as clubhouse, fishing lodges would not have to fully reopen as the facilities are outside and physical interaction would be kept to a minimum. These types of activities would not normally involve alchohol or drugs and would stop pressure building in relationships which were normal before the lockdown started. Caged animals tend to quarrel and humans are no different and the zoo's separate animals when there is danger...perhaps this would be a simple solution for humans?
At the same time allowing human interaction at a safe distance.

Why the contribution is important
It is said that obesity is a contributory factor to contracting Covid and exercise / diet is important in controlling weight gain. Allowing these types of activities will help with weight loss, anxiety, mental stress and other associated illness such as heart attacks, high cholesterol, diabetes etc.
The air quality is far better now we dont have as much pollution from planes, trains and automobiles that people with breathing problems have an opportunity to breathe clean fresh air for a short time until everything goes back to it's normal sad polluting state.

Perpertators have more control and able to use isolation to mentally grind down the partner.
There is plenty advice to get out, however easier said than done when there is lack of safe accommodation to move to, meaning having to move with children to another town far from family and friends and work( when able to return)
The abused stay as the family home is a secure place for the child/ren,
Going from security if having money to pay housing costs and bills to nothing and the stress of applying for Universal Credit is more of a problem than being abused.
There is lack of affordable social housing, therefore can be rehomed many miles away from the support network that was there before lockdown.
The Child Maintenance Service is failing children as does not do what is expected due to loopholes in the law allowing self employed to lie about true income, leaving children living in poverty. This is a tactic used by abusers when they can no longer abuse directly.
